Someone I recently started dating flew home to be with their family

And their grandma died. I obviously believe them but I barely hear from them anymore, which is understandable since that's a huge thing to happen. But like, do I sit and wait for her? Or just move on? I'm really interested in her and really want something to happen, but I can't force it. I texted her to check in 3 days ago and she responded favorably but that she's been busy and spending much more time with her family.

We were texting kinda regularly after she went home but it dried up almost completely after she lost her grandma. It's been a week since then. And we matched on a dating app a month ago.

And you can't wait till she gets home, already? Surely she must be grieving and trying to sort things out and probably help family figure out what to do with her belongings and such and then the funeral. Do not prejudge her. Give her time to grieve and adjust to things. Wait till she gets home and then see how she acts. But at the same time, understand she's going through a lot and may need her space more than usual until she can come to grips with what has happened. She was probably very close to her grandma and that is an awfully devastating blow when you lose someone that close.
